Seeing a doctor in UK for the first time, yours drug will most likely be a bloody SSRI. Even if your anxiety is so severe that you can talk. Maybe the doctor will be particularly stupid and fall into the marketing that the latest atypical anti psychotic. If you do not have psychotic symptoms DO NOT TAKE AN anti psychotic. It is likely that such a drug will only make your symptoms worse.
Other determinants of resting metabolism include thyroid hormones and catecholamines, genetics, body temperature, and in women, the phase of the menstrual cycle. An increased release of thyroid hormones or catecholamines increases RMR. Conversely, a reduction in energy intake specifically decreases triiodothyronine (T3) levels and norepinephrine release, which can subsequently decrease metabolic rate.
The resting metabolic rate (RMR) is the number of calories the body requires at rest. It is important because any calorie intake above this resting metabolic rate (RMR) is stored as fat by your body.The RMR is a good estimate for those of us without access to complex laboratory testing of oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide gas production. The basic formula for estimating RMR at rest is:our resting metabolic rate is approximately one kcal per kilogram of body weight per hour. (To find your weight in kilograms, divide your weight in pounds by 2.2.) If you weigh 132 pounds, or 60 kilograms, you will burn 60 kcal an hour.
